Garden city Waidhofen a/d Ybbs
Embrace nature and enjoy one of the many green spots in Waidhofen, in the city’s centre as well as right next to the castle. Close your eyes and listen to the joyful laughter of a child, or the lively chatters of passers-by and tourists, and the murmuring of the river Ybbs in the background.
The castle’s park was redesigned for the Lower Austrian Provincial Exhibition in 2007 and since then it has remained a meeting point for all, old and young. You can enjoy the shade or blooming shrubs, while children have ample space to run and play. In 2016, the park was planned according to strict criteria of “nature’s garden” and pathways were reorganised to create larger green areas. The different types of plants represent the different elements of the region’s landscape, just like the geranium with its distinct blue colour represents the river Ybbs.
